Great piece abt sad team. My only note is that an alternative headline is "Yeet the Mets."

The war in Iran isn’t ending — it’s becoming something new Why this conflict is so hard to end.

New from @joshuakeating.bsky.social : “The main dynamic at the moment is that the US has incentive to end the war but isn’t sure how. Iran has the means to end the war but isn’t sure if it wants to.” www.vox.com/politics/486...

Even Tony Kushner Warned Steven Spielberg About Making ‘Munich’ Kushner—who cowrote the screenplay for Spielberg’s controversial, eerily prescient film about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—recalls telling the director, “You do understand that we’re going to get ...

The Story Behind Jackie Robinson’s Damning Kiss-Off to a White Sports Writer That sports writer’s daughter, now 83, reads and responds to it for the first time.

In 1956, Jackie Robinson wrote to a white New Orleans sports writer: "I am happy for you, that you were born white. It would have been extremely difficult for you had it been otherwise.” There's an incredible backstory here, which I was able to dig up with the help of the sports writer's daughter.

RIP to a great, smart, surprising show, a legendary and pioneering one. Listen to the finale.

Viktor Orbán has fallen What it means that MAGA’s favorite strongman is out of a job.

The thing to watch right now: whether the opposition wins two-thirds of seats in Hungary’s parliament.

If they don’t, then the Orbán regime will likely survive. If they do, then there is a chance - maybe even a good one - that Hungarian democracy could come back to life. www.vox.com/politics/485...

Hello I have some capybara-related content for you today

Is this the beginning of the end of the war in Iran? Trump signaled that he’s ready to wrap up the conflict, but that may not be up to him.

For the morning crowd, read @joshuakeating.bsky.social on Trump's Iran speech and where the war has actually left everyone so far.

He spoke as if it's already an unambiguous triumph for the U.S., a conflict it has already won decisively. Uhhh...not quite. Gift link: www.vox.com/politics/484...

What Would Heschel Say? A quote from 1937 shows how far American Jewish leaders have fallen

The latest Beinart post about Heschel writing that the Jews were lucky to get kicked out of the Iberian Peninsula so they didn't participate or become complicit in the crimes of the conquistadors is now lodged in my brain.

Re-upping one more time for the Monday crowd: I interviewed César Chavez biographer Matt Garcia about how activists and ordinary Americans should remake Chavez and his movement's legacy now, and the accountability that his victims still deserve. Gift link: www.vox.com/life/483499/...

What do we do with Cesar Chavez’s memory now? A biographer says it’s not enough to reckon with Chavez’s actions. What’s needed is accountability.

“This kind of thinking is what allowed these women to suffer for so long, and for us to hold onto the notion that Cesar was an enlightened leader for the union...the union succeeded most when it acted collectively, and in some cases defied Cesar Chavez.” www.vox.com/life/483499/...

Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years

The Cesar Chavez story is horrendous and shocking. Hard to read but an important document worth your time. Would prefer a world in which at least one “good guy” of history did not turn out to also be a monster. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

OpenAI accidentally built one of the world’s richest charities. Now what? The battle over what OpenAI owes the public.

The OpenAI Foundation on paper is worth $180B—more than double the Gates Foundation. What will it do with that massive fortune? Is it even capable of fulfilling its stated mission to hold its for-profit sibling (and the entire AI industry) accountable to “all humanity”? www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Pleased to see that Alex is still honoring the blood oath we signed together with a demon in 2022 to Pick Gonzaga every March Madness. This could be the year the Zags win it all and release our souls from eternal bondage.

I’ve been talking to people in Iran. They face an impossible choice. People are terrified of the war — but some worry it will end too soon to free them.

“One thing people forget,” he said, “is that we haven’t even reached the PTSD part yet. We’re still in the trauma part.”
